The zoopraxiscope, an early animation device invented by Eadweard Muybridge in the late 19th century, was used to study motion through sequential images. While most sculptures aren’t explicitly designed for zoopraxiscopes, some outdoor artworks inspired by Muybridge’s motion studies have become iconic.

One notable example is the series of sculptures based on Muybridge’s "Human and Animal Locomotion" photographs, which depict figures in motion. These sculptures, often found in public spaces, pay homage to his groundbreaking work in capturing movement. Another famous piece is "The Horse in Motion," a bronze installation recreating Muybridge’s sequential images of a galloping horse, designed to evoke the illusion of motion when viewed dynamically.

Though not originally created for zoopraxiscopes, these sculptures embody the spirit of Muybridge’s experiments, blending art and science. They remain celebrated for their innovative approach to representing movement in static form.
